LOYALTY - By Pastor Phil Pringle
Quote -
'Lincoln could find only one general who would do what he wanted. On March 10, 1864, he appointed Ulysses S. Grant general-in-chief of the army.'
- Lincoln on Leadership, Executive Strategies for Tough Times by Donald T. Phillips, Warner Books, 1992.
Hi, I'm Phil PringleYou're going to love this;
Give loyalty to the worthy.
Reward, inclusion, acceptance and honour, all engender loyalty.
Unrecognised loyalty engenders disloyalty.
Lack of any of these when deserved, engenders disloyalty.
If you err at all, err on the side of generosity in recognising loyalty.
A competent but disloyal team member is a far worse curse than an average but loyal member.
There is no skill or other contribution that can atone for disloyalty.
Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle
